Mexican state of Chihuahua (Chihuahua), mine Naik (Naica Mine), Crystal Cave (Cueva de Los Cristales). At a depth of 300 meters detected cavity housing a giant selenistokislye crystals, some of the largest natural crystals ever found.

The cave was discovered by accident, miners forced to drill a hole, because Nike's management was concerned about the probability of flooding fields.
